ShipClaw is a managed deployment platform for OpenClaw, Anthropic's open-source
AI agent runtime built on Claude. (OpenClaw is the agent runtime — not the
Captain Claw video game engine.) Each user gets an isolated, sandboxed agent
instance with its own filesystem, process boundary, and Telegram bot, billed
per credit instead of per month.
